Delete an asset source

If you want to remove an asset source that you no longer require, perform the following steps to delete the asset source in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.

About this task

NOTE Do not manually run the unConfigureAddOn.sh or unregister.sh command from the host. When the asset source deletion is initiated from PowerProtect Data Manager, the unregister and unconfigure commands are run automatically.

Only the Administrator role can manage the asset sources.

Steps

  1. From the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Infrastructure > Asset Sources, and then select the tab for the type of asset source that you want to delete.
  2. Select the asset source name in the asset source list, and then click Delete.
  3. At the warning prompt that appears, click Continue.
    The asset source is deleted from the list.

Results

PowerProtect Data Manager removes the specified asset source in the Asset Sources window.

Any associated assets that are protected by the protection policy are removed from the protection policy and their status is changed to deleted. These assets can be deleted automatically or manually. The PowerProtect Data Manager Administration and User Guide provides details on how to remove assets from PowerProtect Data Manager.

In the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, to list the assets with the deleted status, use the appropriate filter option.

The copies of assets from the asset source are retained (not deleted). You can delete the copies from the copies page, if required.

For an asset that was previously protected by PowerProtect Data Manager, regular compliance deletion runs until all the backup pieces are expired.

Existing backup copies that were generated before the client was added to PowerProtect Data Manager are not deleted from the PowerProtect DD storage unit. To delete the backup pieces, you must run a regular stand-alone ddutil command: 

ddutil -k -b <begin_time> -e <end_time> -R -z <DD_host>:/<storage_unit>

For backup copies that PowerProtect Data Manager generates, PowerProtect Data Manager performs deletion of the copies based on the specified retention.

In the both cases, the backup administrator must perform the catalog cleanup by using the RMAN maintenance commands, such as the crosscheck and delete expired commands.

NOTE In an Oracle RAC cluster, when the active node is down, you must use the asset source deletion option (decommission feature) to unconfigure that particular node from the PowerProtect Data Manager. This asset source deletion ensures that the PowerProtect Data Manager operations run automatically from the next available node.
